I like how you showed that comparison of the good video/bad audio, audio is just as important as great picture. Just received an HT-A9 (also have a Q990c), the HT-A9 has a larger sound stage, have nor added the subwoofer yet, wanted to see how it is without the subwoofer. YES this system sounds great without a subwoofer, its incredible in image placement and height effects. I know exactly what im missing without the sub, as i have a dedicated Kef 5.1.4 system with a 12" sub. The A9 is just so easy to use and no speaker wire is awesome 👏. Setup literally took 5 minutes.
Have 2019 QNQ90R and both 2022 Q990b and now a 2024 q990d soundbar. Both have Q symphony with this TVs firmware update 6mo ago. Unsure if its 3.0, but the QN90R TV has a great 4.1.2 onboard speaker array (its a thick Tv), so Q Symphony sounds amazing
I’m pairing my q99d with a s90d 77” I can’t wait for the tv to get here next week . The Q99d already sounds great with my 15 year old 55” Samsung lcd tv .
I'm having trouble getting Q Symphony to appear on a wireless connection. I have the Q90C and HW990C and I can't seem to get them to recognize the Q Symphony option.
yeah thats the problem with wireless and bluetooth is that its not always consistent. If possible I would try to use a cable, even it that means running a cable down inside the wall.
I really want to buy the 990D, but I'm in a small room and feel like I'd be wasting £1000.. even though it would be overkill, would you say it will still be awesome in a small room?
Hi... I have done this with my S95D and the Q600 soundbar... it all works but every time I turn off the tv and then turn it back on, the soundbar also turns on automatically but the sound has reverted to TV speakers only... why is this happening? Why doesn't it start with the Q-Symphony turned on? Also, I tried to update the firmware of the soundbar following the steps on the Samsung site but when I click the 3 dots on the smarthings App for the sound bar I only get the "Edit" button to change the name of the sound bar... can you help?
I have a Q80A 65in 2021 and i want to buy a Q800D soundbar my tv and soundbar will play together with q symphony or there is incabability problem because my tv is older than the soundbar?
I dont know if you will get 3.0 but you should get some form of Q-Symphony because im 95% sure the A models had it. Just to be sure I would ask Samsung, their chat portal on their website is really helpfull!
Does the s95c tv support 3.0 Q Symphony with a Q990D soundbar ? I have my s95c with a JBL 1300x soundbar and no doubt it sounds stunning amazing but i wanna find out what the hype is about with samsung soundbar and Q Symphony!
hey i connected my q990d with my s95d and the q symphony works well on the soundbar but the tv speakers have a static noise and really quiet. but if i select tv slealers ok its on the tv speakers work perfectly. do the tv speakers whilst im q symphony only work with dolby atmos or 7.1 or should they work woth amy sound output. thank you so much for taking the time to read
@@WaltsTV i did not get it running with bluetooth only --- it directly worked flawless with HDMI. I have 83 Inch OLED (60Watt Speaker was fine compared to older TV before) but with Soundbar Samsung Q935 everything is homegen and we like it.
Its going to work great! Tell you what, I can get you a youtube/bundle deal if you email me youtube@walts.com And you can also include any other details or questions you might have!
Based on their advertising on the website of multiple models it looks like the Q level tvs in 2023 come with 3.0. the other models below that like the 8000 and 7000 should now be able to do q-symphony but just not the 3.0
I have a maybe stupid question that I can't find an outright answer to... I just bought a Samsung S89C and am looking into a Q-Symphony soundbar if I can get one relatively cheap. I'm looking at the HW-Q600A. It is Q Symphony compatible, but I can't find whether it is 3.0 or not - or if that is something that gets updated, as in a 2.0 gets a firmware update to bring it up to 3.0 standards.
Hi thank you for this video. Two questions, If you setup Q-Symphony using an HDMI cable into eARC, does that mean you could not also connect the soundbar via WiFi? I might be wrong, but I think connecting the soundbar over WiFi is needed to use other features like Smart Things? Or can you do both and have the next of both worlds? (And if you can only connect via HDMI *or* WiFi, can you do Q-Symphony over WiFi only?)
Do all Q Symphony tv’s have the same speaker configuration? I have Q800B soundbar and older Samsung tv and thinking of getting a new tv to help improve dialogue. Thanks
if your happy with the sound you are getting they good. Sony and Samsung allow the TV to be integrated with the sound bar and have the processing make it sound like a larger sound stage. you are just using the tv speakers and the SB at the same time.
Handy but I hateeeee when media says "What you NEED to know..." it is everywhere and normally it is about stuff no one NEEDS to know :P I want to know how to get my HW-Q930D using a LG C3 as my monitor/tv in Windows 11 using Dolby Access for Atmos. I use a Nvidia RTX 4090 with a HDMI 2.1 cable from GPU to HDMI #1 and eARC port #2 to HDMI eARC port on the soundbar. Issue is the initial 1-3 second delay before sound comes up and a Dolby Atmos overlay pops up at the top right of the screen.
I have a Samsung m7 Monitor. I own a q60c soundbar. When I reset the soundbar and connect it for the first time, a symphony is activated. but then it doesn't work. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?
Hello, I have a question. If anyone can help. I called Samsung but I just wasted 40 min calling. I have a Q70C tv hooked with a Q800C soundbar. First issue, the audio cuts out for a split second then comes back. It does it a couple times an hour while watching movies or shows. Second question, the soundbar used to say tv + soundbar. Now it says Q- Symphony. Was that updated recently? I also have a Q90A tv hooked up with a Q60T soundbar which still says “tv + soundbar.
Yeah so basically it just updated on its own then if it says Q-Symphony. For the older products they might have that feature but I dont think it is called Q-Symphony.
possibly, mess with your audio settings. If you can get it to say Soundbar + TV then that means you are in Q-Symphony. What version I am not sure but you will atleast have it.
QSymphony atmos is a nightmare on windows 10. All channels including the rears, come out of the TV. And there's lag, making it unusable. I'm pretty pissed I bought a S90DD (which itself is 2.1.2) and the Q990D but they sound awful used together, which was the point. I also lose the rears and the sub altogether when not running atmos content. Absolutely ridiculous
I got the Q930 last week and new Qled 55" week before. Nothing about setting up so can just use as music system at times, blu ray films at others. Skimpy on readout "Surround" which surround? Specs list about 5 different ones, but how on earth are you to know which one they are tossing at you? And so many features, esp in picture type pop up with "not available"... why the heck not? There is almost zero useful info from Samsung. (I am in Thailand and you need to have an account to access some features and download... but there is NO ENGLISH version in Thailand. I've talked with local service... long pause... "So you don't want to say it, but there is no way to have this in English, right?" Right. And don't suggest translate app because then functions of sign in etc don't work. Folks with sites like you are a godsend: we'd just be stumbling about hit or miss 100% of the time instead of current 75%

Stupped tehnology. Its not work. Do not buy it (samsung ) if you need q simphony
Is the version based on the tv. Or the soundbar.. like if I have last years soundbar but this years tv. Witch version would I get
I think all of the C and D models of both have 3.0 built in.
I really want to buy the 990D, but I'm in a small room and feel like I'd be wasting £1000.. even though it would be overkill, would you say it will still be awesome in a small room?
Yes! but if you want something more appropriate for the size there is the HW-Q800D!

Look at the settings in your tv box from provider
Did u figure it out?
I wanted to get a 990c. I Have a q800b. Will it be 2.0 or 3.0. Do I need a firmware update
its depends on your TV you also need a C TV
Hey i am getting s90c any budget soundbar for that please,Thanks
what size tv? if your looking at a 65-55 the Q600C is great. If you have a larger one probably the 990c

Will a neo QLED QN90D with a soundbar Q800D be better with Q-symphony or without it?
always better with over without.

Does the s95c tv support 3.0 Q Symphony with a Q990D soundbar ? I have my s95c with a JBL 1300x soundbar and no doubt it sounds stunning amazing but i wanna find out what the hype is about with samsung soundbar and Q Symphony!
TBH I would not switch, bar 1300x is great and unless you want to move that to a different room they are both going to sound really good!
Do you mean Q990B soundbar with software update can support Q-Symphony 3.0?
Not possible
no 3.0 is built into 2023 and 2024 models so ending in C and D should support it.
I am using q80b and q600c soundbar. Do i have this feature?
yes
hey i connected my q990d with my s95d and the q symphony works well on the soundbar but the tv speakers have a static noise and really quiet. but if i select tv slealers ok its on the tv speakers work perfectly. do the tv speakers whilst im q symphony only work with dolby atmos or 7.1 or should they work woth amy sound output. thank you so much for taking the time to read
dolby Atmos 7.1 I would have set to only listen out of the soundbar and not the TV. This feature is meant more for enhancing basic streaming.
so when do you suggest i use q symphony
@@el-capiitan2518 for everything except 7.1
@@WaltsTV sorry not being a nuisance but how do your tv speakers sound whilst in q symphony mode ?
Do I need a HDMI cable to Q-Symphony works or I can connect the soundbar with TV using bluetooth? I have a Samsung Q90D TV and Q600C soundbar.
I am going to guess not able to be used with bluetooth, it does work with optical and HDMI for sure.
@@WaltsTV i did not get it running with bluetooth only --- it directly worked flawless with HDMI.

yes! what size tv and room are you working with? that is more important in my opinion.
Hi Im planing to buy 55inch Samsung S95C with HW Q800D and surround speakers. You think its good combo? Also how this orks with PS5 and gaming?

Can my The frame 2021 (LS03A) compatible to this QS3 feature? I’m going to buy a S801B set up using wireless connection with this TV.
not sure if it will be 3.0 but I do know it should have some level of Q-Symphony
Hi I have the CU8000 and Q600C
How would I know if the Q-Symphony is 3.0 and not 2.0?
And if it's 2.0 how to update to 3.0?
Thank you 🙏🏻

My cu8000 and q600b work with q symphony without any problems, even plays in the added rears 🙃
Do you need wifi for Q symphony?
No just an hdmi or optical cable.

I am going to say you would be better off getting a C model soundbar. There is no guarantee that it will work with the older soundbars.
Is it available on Q700C TV and Q70C soundbar?
Yes!
Samsung 50aue70 has q symphony or not?
I believe not

Are you saying that the QSymphony soundbar and tv combo really doesn’t improve SQ sound?
WhenI try to this up, Its say I need to connect my TV speakers ??
yes because your combining the audio.
Is there lipsync on these soundbars as I get trouble with this on xbox
depends on how you have it plugged in

what he said
Just ordered the Q990C sound bar for my '21 QN90A QLED TV. Looks like the TV didn't make the cut. Dang.
hey thats still a kick butt soundbar and you will be happy with it anyway!
I read somewhere that the Q symphony works also with non Samsung Soundbars together with the Q symphony TV's... Can u confirm?
I can confirm this is most likely not true. Some brands have a similar feature but I don't believe that you can mix brands.
